It has been a tough couple of years in the world of dentistry but dentists are a resilient bunch and I am proud of how my clients have risen to the challenge and taken advantage of opportunities that can arise when challenges present themselves.

We’ve been busy helping our clients with everything from buying, selling, expansion plans, restructuring, refinancing, converting to private and retirement planning.

There is still a lot of change heading dentists way - NHS contract reform is in progress in England, Scotland and Wales (albeit happening at different paces in different countries), struggles with recruiting continues to cause headaches for practice owners and interest rates are starting to creep up. All that said, let’s not lose sight of the fact that people are much more aware of the importance of oral health and the demand for ­dentistry is huge right now. For those of you with large loans the good news is the bank stress test on your loans may mean much higher interests rates so whilst you may be paying slightly more as interest rates increase, you CAN afford it.

The team is really excited to be back at the dental showcase next week and looking forward to catching up with our clients. Please feel free to pop along and pick our brains about any of the above subject matters or just to say hello.

I will be speaking at the Business Theatre on Friday 25th March at 11.15am and Saturday 26th March at 4.15pm and it will be great to see some of you there too.
